Gabriele splurged on the furnishings, as you need quality furniture to withstand use, but notes she saved on drapery and accessories. She adds that“ Trends are great, especially if they align with your personal style. For some it can seem risky, and for those I recommend incorporating the theme through accessories, a table lamp or artwork”. The living room’ s rug is an example of using an accessory as a trend and to enhance motifs. Paul and Kim note the“ rug simulates the waves in a lake on a windy day, and the lines of the rug are raised giving it a rich look”.
Comforting rather than cold, the room’ s gray and blue hues are warmed by snuggly textures and materials in throws, fabrics, and furniture.“ The space needed some zest and life brought into it and that’ s exactly what they got!” Gabriele states.
“ Family and friends were blown away by the resulting design” Paul and Kim remark. They add that shortly after completion a maintenance technician stopped dead in his tracks when he came in and just exclaimed,“ wow!”
“ We still can’ t believe this is our home. It really is a sanctuary when we come home from work.”
